Holly Double Light Pink – Open-Faced Snapdragon

If you love soft, romantic tones in your garden, Snapdragon Holly Double Light Pink is going to be one of those plants you fall for instantly. This beautifully delicate snapdragon is part of the Holly Double series — a range we are incredibly excited to be expanding this year. With its gentle blush-pink, double-petalled blooms, this variety brings an airy, whimsical feel to borders, containers, cottage-garden spaces, and cut-flower patches.

Holly Double varieties offer something a little different to traditional snapdragons, and customers absolutely adored our Holly Double Orange last year. It sold brilliantly and performed even better — strong stems, fantastic vase life, and months upon months of colour. So when we had the chance to introduce the Light Pink version for the new season, we didn’t hesitate. It has all the same vigour, charm, and reliability as the orange form, but with a softer, more romantic palette that blends seamlessly into pastel planting schemes.

The flowers are truly the highlight. Instead of the classic dragon-shaped blooms, Holly Double varieties boast elegant open-faced, ruffled flowers that resemble tiny layered rosettes. In the light pink shade, the petals almost glow — a soft luminous blush that catches the morning and evening light beautifully. These gentle pastel tones make this variety perfect for creating dreamy borders and bouquets, especially when paired with whites, creams, apricots, lavender purples, and light greenery.

Your plants are grown right here at our South Devon nursery, where we raise them in peat-free compost to ensure strong, healthy, sustainable growth. Each order includes 6 jumbo plug plants — good-sized, well-rooted plugs that are far more substantial than small seedlings. They have the strength to establish quickly once planted and will reward you with long-lasting displays throughout the season.

To keep the journey from our nursery to your home as plant-friendly and planet-friendly as possible, we pack your plugs in hado bags, which are biodegradable or reusable. These keep the roots protected and hydrated during transit while eliminating unnecessary single-use plastics.

Why Holly Double ‘Light Pink’ Belongs in Your Garden

This softly coloured variety brings a freshness and lightness that suits so many planting styles. Whether you’re creating a pastel-themed border, adding height and texture to cottage-style beds, or filling pots near seating areas to enjoy the delicate blooms up close, Holly Double ‘Light Pink’ is endlessly versatile.

If you enjoy growing flowers for the vase, you’ll find this snapdragon a real pleasure. Its elegant stems and ruffled blooms add softness and movement to arrangements, blending effortlessly with other cottage-garden favourites like cosmos, scabious, sweet peas, and phlox. The flowers hold well once cut, making them ideal for homegrown bouquets throughout late spring and summer.

Pollinators also appreciate this variety, as the open-faced form makes it easier for bees to access nectar. So, while you enjoy the beauty, the local wildlife gets a treat as well.

Growing Holly Double ‘Light Pink’

These snapdragons are wonderfully easy to care for. Once the risk of frost has passed, plant them in a sunny or lightly sheltered spot and water them regularly as they settle in. Deadheading or cutting stems for the vase encourages even more blooms, ensuring you enjoy months of continuous colour. They’re perfect for gardeners wanting soft pastel beauty without the need for constant fuss.
